And so it begins....

fb2,

The "owner" of this thread, if that's what you want to call it, is simply happy that it is at best promoting discourse or at least being kept alive.

Divorce is hell. The various reasons for it being hell are as different as the individuals who are experiencing it. We all have our own demons. Our pain is our own. We all come here for advice and companionship. To learn something or find whatever comfort mutual suffering brings. The optimism I had as a newbie has dropped into the sad cynicism in the knowledge that I could not salvage my marriage.

So here I am at the surviving board trying desperately to cope. I see others here who have turned the corner into happy single lives and even happy new relationships. As of today, I cannot fathom such a state. What can not be changed, however, must be endured and I am committed to letting this experience make me better rather than bitter.

For those of you who have taken an interest in my plight, I am eternally grateful.
